I went to go squash this with patch 3 and took a closer look, and then I
realized you're doing this weird.

Please when you resend also squash this - it's a bit weird to read in
two patches.

However, I think this is missing a lot of things - we already talked
about the regulatory database, and while that'd be nice, I guess I
conceded that you don't really have to do it now.

However, for visibility reasons, I *really* think you need to add
nl80211 attributes for all of this data - when the regdomain is dumped
in nl80211_put_regdom() you would have the flag now (it dumps the value
of reg_rule->flags in NL80211_ATTR_REG_RULE_FLAGS), but you didn't add
the value of reg_rule->psd which you've added.

Similarly, you're not adding the PSD flag nor the PSD value for the
*channel* in nl80211_msg_put_channel(), both of which I think you should
have for visibility into what's going on in the kernel/driver.

I've applied all the other patches, so please just resend 3 and 4,
squashed into a single patch, with the fixes.
